The issue here was a tika crash and not solr. Tika processes attachments like PDF/ODT etc. It's unclear why tika itself crashed. The logs are inside the mail container at /run/tika/tika.log if you want to dig into this further. But generally, a retry will pick up things from where it left off the last time around.

@LoudLemur said: @necrevistonnezr has a valid point, too. What else can we do, though? "Understand it better?" This problem meant people were not receiving emails. Not sending a bug report, particularly when the ai had found a fix, didn't seem public spirited. It also is a bit like self-censorship. It’s pretty simple: Read the output, work with it it, make it your own. Don‘t just forward it unfiltered. If that’s too much, leave it. In case of a bug report, if you don’t want to put in the work, what’s the point? How does the team know your report was verified by you and has merits? It would probably more helpful to leave the team your result in 3-4 sentences and provide the prompt - then they can see for themselves.

The core issue was a quoting problem. It was mistaking "-" as an argument instead of a folder name. Fixed in https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/commit/04adf5de3470a944cf811a23613bceb9ea520b38

I have increased the solr indexing timeout and reduced the indexing batch size. Maybe it helps on slower machines .

That's great, thanks @girish! It seems to work now. I enabled it and followed the steps in the new documentation you linked to, and then ran doveadm -c /run/dovecot.conf index -A '*' from the mail container which started indexing everything. Just waiting for the indexing to finish to confirm it'll be good.

This was a regression in Cloudron 7.7. Thanks for reporting @AartJansen Fixed in https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/1afa2e87ec93881ebcd1f79d83d4477467b40770

@girish I think that would be a good change. I also think I should have gone through the Troubleshooting document sooner : https://docs.cloudron.io/troubleshooting/ Thanks!

If you go down this route, be sure to search via roundcube or SOGo and not rainloop because the latter does not support recursive search. A while ago @samir shared a recipe with me to make doveadm work, let me see if that still works when I find the time.

@necrevistonnezr I noticed the first time enabling it,it has to index each mailbox which takes time depending on how big they are. I am sure if you left it as-is for a bit it would have started on it's own. Glad it's working now

I found that in Thundberbird, if you press Ctrl+K, it will use IMAP search. On Android K-9, there is Settings -> Account Settings -> Search -> Enable server search.
